For those of you (like me) with elephantine memories, the Basin Flyover Inquiry identified a number of things that could be done – and SHOULD be done – and a number of things that must NEVER be done. lgwm transport media Mon, 19 Jun 2023 00:00:00 GMT https://wellington.scoop.co.nz/?p=153130 Wellington Scoop 2023-06-19T00:00:00Z https://wellington.scoop.co.nz/?p=144910 lgwm transport media Thu, 02 Jun 2022 00:00:00 GMT https://wellington.scoop.co.nz/?p=144910 Wellington Scoop 2022-06-02T00:00:00Z https://wellington.scoop.co.nz/?p=139646 Light Rail is the second option being put forward by Let’s Get Wellington Moving for mass transit. While it is better than bendy buses, it has diverged alarmingly from what was supported by all tiers of government in 2019. Most concerning is the thinking around the route. lgwm light-rail transport trains media Thu, 07 Oct 2021 00:00:00 GMT https://wellington.scoop.co.nz/?p=139646 Wellington Scoop 2021-10-07T00:00:00Z https://wellington.scoop.co.nz/?p=138091 If you’ve been wondering why LGWM seems to be continually distracted instead of making decisions to get us moving – yesterday’s news of recommendations in a (leaked) report would have confirmed your suspicions. lgwm transport media Wed, 04 Aug 2021 00:00:00 GMT https://wellington.scoop.co.nz/?p=138091 Wellington Scoop 2021-08-04T00:00:00Z https://wellington.scoop.co.nz/?p=137892 cobham-drive-bridge lgwm transport media Mon, 26 Jul 2021 00:00:00 GMT https://wellington.scoop.co.nz/?p=137892 Wellington Scoop 2021-07-26T00:00:00Z -41.3149279 174.8001066 Cobham Drive, Kilbirnie, Wellington, Wellington City, Wellington, 6021, New Zealand http://wellington.scoop.co.nz/?p=137367 What’s the best way for a pedestrian or a cyclist to cross four lanes of traffic on Cobham Drive?

As the years and the experience accumulate, it gets easier to see the patterns of behaviour of agencies and organisations and politicians – their ways of operating, if you will. And one of those ways of operating means that Let’s Get Wellington Moving is likely doomed to failure. lgwm transport media Wed, 05 May 2021 00:00:00 GMT http://wellington.scoop.co.nz/?p=135948 Wellington Scoop 2021-05-05T00:00:00Z http://wellington.scoop.co.nz/?p=135807 Let’s Get Wellington Moving has recently received a lot of criticism – apparently it’s spending $4million per month, enough to lay 100m of double track through town or purchase half a light rail vehicle (LRV). In my humble opinion, the criticism foisted on them is not scathing enough. lgwm trains transport media Tue, 04 May 2021 00:00:00 GMT http://wellington.scoop.co.nz/?p=135807 Wellington Scoop 2021-05-04T00:00:00Z http://wellington.scoop.co.nz/?p=134422 lgwm transport media Mon, 22 Feb 2021 00:00:00 GMT http://wellington.scoop.co.nz/?p=134422 Wellington Scoop 2021-02-22T00:00:00Z http://wellington.scoop.co.nz/?p=132264 There was another reminder last week that Let’s Get Wellington Moving is mis-named. Announcing that public feedback from 2000 people on changes to Wellington’s Golden Mile had overwhelmingly backed the “transform” option, it said: “The next step … is to identify a preferred option.” If only LGWM could move on from research and consultation to what we thought it was supposed to be doing – getting us moving. transport lgwm media Thu, 05 Nov 2020 00:00:00 GMT http://wellington.scoop.co.nz/?p=132264 Wellington Scoop 2020-11-05T00:00:00Z http://wellington.scoop.co.nz/?p=129445 How many of us have read through the hundreds of pages released last month by LGWM in the latest stage of its seemingly endless saga to improve conditions on the Golden Mile.
